Caesar salad with chicken breast and anchovies
4 servings
60 minutes
Caesar salad with chicken breast and anchovies is an elegant combination of tender chicken fillet, crispy croutons, and savory anchovies in a refined dressing. Its history began in 1924 when Italian chef Caesar Cardini created it in Tijuana, Mexico. This salad conquered the world with its balance of flavors: juicy chicken, a hint of mustard and Worcestershire sauce bitterness, the freshness of lemon juice, and the richness of Parmesan create a unique bouquet of aromas. Toasted croutons add a crunchy texture while anchovies deepen the flavor. This salad is the perfect dish for a festive dinner or light lunch.
